Smells the B hates:

  • That is funny that Chance doesn't like Dr. Bronner's Soap…DH uses that and the entire house smells like it after he takes a shower. It never stops jack from trying to lick him clean.

  • Phoenix does that wierd curled up lip "ohh that smell is NASTY" Face lol

    #1 would be cigarette smoke
    others would be those cintrella candles u put on the table,
    nail polish.
    nail polish remover,
    any type of smell good spray ,
    antcovies,{can't blame him on that one }
    Morning breath {can't blame him on that one either }
    and i'm sure i'm forgetting some but those are the ones i can think of

    The thing he does that drives me CRAZY

    I go to Yankee Candle and buy those really expensive but really good smelling candles lol and when ever i get a cookie type of smell like { oatmeal. sugar. coconut ect. } he tries to eat it out of the jar {not when it's lite but before} i have to make sure i pretty much glue the covers on or take them out of his reach or i leave the room for a second and there he is with his candle on his bed trying to paw the smelly cookies out { or so he thinks } lol

    Thanks, I still have not been told if they accepted it or not.

    You are published for two months and if anyone has comments they can send them to the board and after that the board votes on your membership. So you have next month to be in the monthly newletter and then they will vote the month after. So July most likely they would vote on the membership.

  • Topper bites his tail sometimes, and tea tree oil keeps him away from it. When I reach for the bottle, he runs and hides, poor baby! It works for us.

  • I haven't found anything yet that tayda and lenny don't love to roll in. the stinkier the better! lenny particularly loves hair dye! when i'm dying my hair at home i'll usually bend forward and turn my head upside down to "shampoo it in" and lenny will come up and turn circles in front of me and lean up against my legs trying to get closer and closer. Crazy dog! gotta love 'em!:o :D

  • Cyrus snuck a little lick of some wasabi while Cale and I were eating Japanese food recently. He hated it! He started sneezing and wiping his paws over his snout. Cale and I secretly hoped that would be a lesson to him about stealing food.

  • Booger once snuck a Taco Bell hot sauce packet off a countertop & chewed on it. Now whenever he smells hot sauce he starts snorting & pawing at his nose. He will still steal anything he can get his paws on.

  • Alex was a really aggressive beggar when he was young. The only way you could keep him away from the table was to wave a bottle of Tobasco sauce near his nose. He'd curl his lips, shake his head and make a beeline away from the table!

    Medjai doesn't like the carmex, or any alcohol. The more he shakes his head and curls his lip, the higher proof the drink is. I like that because I don't have to worry about him trying to drink anything.

    Hah, I noticed this also with anything that contains alcohol. Except, my B will still try to drink it. He has a rather strong curiosity for red wine and scotch. I never let him drink any, but if I'm not watching him closely, i'll see him trying to stick his tongue in the glass.

    Yet if I take a deep breath after having a drink, he will paw at his face from the smell of alcohol. Funny dog. :D

  • There is a fellow in north Georgia who is working with a basenji pup for tracking and possibly bomb detection. He has worked with bloodhounds in the past and is very impressed with the basenji's ability!

    Yep, they must have a pretty good sense of smell. Bella is ticking off the squirrels in my back yard. She sniffs around the yard, then digs up the acorns they buried last fall and eats them. :p

  • Toothpaste! Mine will drink wine, so alcohol doesn't matter to them, but now toothpaste? That's something to curl you lips at, shake your head, and cover your eyes!

  • Ours will drink wine and beer. Lexi HATES the smell of a banana. When I peel it, sometimes we let her smell it and then runs all over the house. It's so funny and sometimes we chase her with it (good naturedly) and she goes nuts and spins on the bed all playfully.

    She will roll in anything mint flavored or scented. She also loves to roll in leather and will stick her face in ANY stinky shoe and go bizurk. It's hilarious!!

    Tea Tree Oil. This stuff is great to keep the dogs from licking a spot. They absolutely hate the smell. When I have to use it the poor dog who ends up with it on looks like they are repulsed by their own odor.

    Plus the tea tree oil is great for healing!

    On feeding, when I had multiple dogs I always did the same as Zande, all dogs fed at the same time, although not always the same place. When the weather was nice I sometimes fed outside. But wherever, I sat and supervised until everyone was finished. I had one who would try to poach if not watched, but she knew better than to make a move with me sitting there. Never had a serious fight with any of mine, and never a disagreement over food, but a breeder I know had to permanently separate two bitches who hated each other and would fight instantly if they had the opportunity....the cause of their dislike had nothing to do with food and everything to do with one bitch interfering with the other one's pups.

    The other kind of guarding - for things that he gets by accident - that still continues, but less and less, although I don't trust him fully. He has been trained to go in his crate very willingly because he always gets a treat when he does. If he has something I don't want him to have I tell him to "get in your crate!" which almost always works the first time. He gets his treat, I close the crate, and then I clean up the mess without any worry. For our dog, if it's something like a cookie or pizza, nothing will stop him from devoring it.

    Just before I leave for work, EL D goes crazy until he gets his kong toy with treats then he just sleeps until I get home. Then a walk and then he search the yard for squirrels and rabbits, unless he's hungry – he'll prance around the house carrying his food dish or sometimes throwing it. Sometimes he'll watch TV in the evenings or just tear up his toys. Every now and then he'll do the Basenji500 - though mostly it's when he needs to go potty.

    Animals definitely know. The one day that I've been sick since Ruby arrived, she curled up with me on the couch for most of the day…wasn't her usual rambunctious self. I once was taking care of my friend's black lab for a weekend and was sick one of the days. I was on the couch and the dog just came over and put his head on me like he was saying "sorry you don't feel well...don't worry about running around with me, I'll stay with you"...it was the sweetest thing, and we basically just hung out in front of the fire for the day.

    A cold Basenji is a cuddly one! [image: recline.jpg] Winter has it's advantages in cold parts of the world! I find Basenji's are like cats, sometimes they want tons of physical attention and other times. it's DON'T TOUCH ME!!!
